attempt to do Everything install with redhat public beta 2 roswell install 8/19/01 3. Actual Results: see description Expected Results: hopefully rpmdb would be able to be opened Additional info:
Can you run 'rpm --rebuilddb' and then try the upgrade?
This is a fresh cdrom install that is bailing having problems opening the RPM database on the stock 7.2 Roswell - beta2 8/19/01 ISO.
When the install crashes, can you press <Ctrl><Alt><F4> and see if there are any cdrom related error messages?
I tried putting the same CD image in another bigsur itanium and it installed completely without error. I'll try using a different LION, then go back to the machine which was exhibiting the problems. ttyl
Also, you might try and see if it just happens with more than 16 gigs of RAM
I was able to build the 4x LION with a argument of 'mem=4G' passed to the linux kernel just after issueing elilo from the EFI shell. The install completed successfully.
katzj, does this look like a kernel problem?
Possibly a problem with the boot kernel. I don't have any issues booting the 2.4.7-2smp kernel once the system is installed. It does properly detect all 20GB of memory.
Um, the boot kernel *is* the SMP kernel.
Yes, I've just verified that the smp kernel used to build the system as anaconda runs, and the smp kernel used to boot the system after install are identical. I cannot explain the behavior of why large memory systems (possibly >4GB) might be a higher threshold, cannot install properly. Hopefully some other reports will come in, or you can see this for yourselves on your own LIONs.
notting, do we have any Lions with more than 4 GB of RAM?
Yup, we have a few. I installed on a 32GB last week, FWIW.
I remember fixing one way this could happen at some point but don't remember the details anymore. Also, we've moved to rpm 4.2 in our current codebase which changes some things significantly as well.
